Worship Bass Pedalboards

My Crux came in. Ended up cable tying to the top of the DC7 as the connector cable is quite short. Had intended to power my HX with it, but due to the location/orientation, powering the LA-1A seemed more logical. Same net result of freeing up 2 outputs on the DC7. Now everything is powered individually. Was getting some small artifacts on the front end of the note with my BMS sometimes when daisy chained. That seems to gone away, and the Agro seems quieter when engaged. Or maybe I'm just imagining it...

Isolated power to separate pedals is what I prefer. Cleaner power distribution, and a lot easier to troubleshoot DC input port issues... if you encounter any noise. I wanted a DC7 with a CIOKS 4. All I needed was 10 isolated ports... but it was the same price as DC7 + CIOKS 8 Superpower Bundle through Sweetwater. $3's extra for 4 extra DC ports is probably worth it... even if unused.

Doesn't look as organized as the top. I could have done a better job on the cable management, but I got lazy on cutting and/or lengthening the size from my previous pedalboard setup.

Looks great! Is the Khan held in place with duel lock?

I'm happy to daisy chain. If it's quiet, it's quiet, if it's not I separate. My Aguilar board has many of the same brand pedal daisy chained and it's quiet. It's never as simple with different brands, current requirements etc. whatever works

I'm pretty sure @scubaduba found the compressor rather lackluster.

He liked the LA-2A but wasn't crazy about the 1176 pedal: "I quite like it becuase it definintely adds weight and texture to your tone in an almost tubelike fashion. It is easy to use and very quiet. Compared to the 1176 the LA-2A is more musical and less sharp sounding. the LA-2A is definintely the more organic or analogue sounding of the two.I quite like it becuase it definintely adds weight and texture to your tone in an almost tubelike fashion.

At $169 the price isn't bad either."

Okay so I tried looking online and I really wish I can understand it better but I can't...

How do I connect my HX Stomp to a power supply in order to connect it to other pedals?

I don't think you can daisy chain DC power other pedals with an HX Stomp. From what I read from the Sweet Foot Pedal website, the HX Stomp by needs at least 1500mA of highly filtered current - ten to one hundred times what a typical pedal requires. I've used the Sweet Foot Pedal ISO power supply for a year, and recently changed to a CIOKS... which is recommended to use a Current Doubler cable. I bought my current doubler cable from Logsdon Audio... which was recommended in the HX Stomp thread.

The HX Stomp actually only uses 900mA as per the Cioks yT reel below:


I have a Cioks DC7 and it is awesome.
I also have a Ghostfire FH5 that will power my HXS off 1 output and comes with the correct cables for it, and it is expandable with an IEC output. I have actually considered moving this to my main board and expanding to either another FH5, or a Rockboard ISO V6 IEC, as it has a USB out also. The V6 can also power a HXS with a current doubling cable due to it only drawing 900mA as per the Cioks video.

If you have limited clearance under your board, then Cioks is the way to go. If you have more clearance and want to save some $ then there are other options also.
